Yes, the new crane car is quite nice and I look forward to adding it to my
collection.
Another thing that has been looked over with the new sets is the part
selection.
While the IR based motor and battery bound baseplate are not ideal, the
parts in these sets look pretty nice and will enhance any collection.
Both the crane car and the freight engine give us green doors. The crane has
a green 6 wide windscreen. And the engine has the green 6 high train cab
parts. Very cool.
And it will be interesting to see just how the Factory implementation of
Trains will impact the parts palette.
